Chapter 464: The Brink of Annihilation
A flock of giant black crows began to move through the woods, sending every member of the Suicide Group trembling with fear.
No one dared to make a sound.
But luck was not always on their side.
Soon, General Lie Hao was spotted. Without uttering a word, he immediately ran away, heading in a direction where there were no teammates, drawing all the crows to pursue him.
Chu Ge couldn't help but mourn for him silently.
Not long after the black crows left the woods, an indifferent female voice followed:
"Suicide Group member General Lie Hao has been eliminated!"
Chu Ge sighed softly. He didn't get up, nor did he tell the others to leave.
The flock of crows had just left; if they got up and ran, they might be chased down again.
About twenty minutes passed.
Only then did Chu Ge crawl out of the bushes, and upon seeing this, the other members followed suit. Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
"Poor General..."
Daddy's Silhouette said with a schadenfreude chuckle.
The others weren't too gloomy after all, it's not as if anyone had really died.
"Everybody, don't go out there. Stay close to the team to avoid startling the enemy," Chu Ge ordered, then led the team away.
The others followed closely, their pace was not quick, and they moved cautiously.
They continued on their way.
Reaching the edge of the woods, Chu Ge and his team peered out cautiously, not daring to step out carelessly.
The beach ahead was littered with many corpses, all of which were the strange turtles they had seen before.
"What happened?" Xiao Poor Thing asked nervously.
Gu Tianjiao followed with, "The air is filled with the scent of blood; it probably happened not too long ago. It might be related to why the Sharp-toothed Serpent Tiger Group left."
It was also possible that the Sharp-toothed Serpent Tiger Group killed those strange turtles.
"What should we do now?" Arno asked, his gaze sweeping in all directions, feeling as if monsters were watching him.
Chu Ge hesitated, "Let's walk along the edge, bypassing them."
He immediately took action.
This island was simply too dangerous; they had to leave quickly.
The group followed the edge of the woods, moving with great caution.
A few minutes later, they finally entered the Neighboring Island.
The number of corpses on this island suddenly decreased, but there were still some, along with various bizarre species.
Chu Ge was greatly surprised.
These corpses looked no different from the monsters in fantasy stories, each more ferocious than the last.
But what he was most curious about was why these monsters were killing each other?
By now, the prompts from the Survival Competition were becoming fewer and fewer, clearly indicating that very few Survival Teams were left alive.
After entering the Neighboring Island, Chu Ge and the others didn't stop; they continued moving forward.
It wasn't until they had crossed three more islands that they stopped and hid in the bushes.
Arno asked, "What's the plan now? How much time do we have left?"
Xiao Poor Thing pondered, "It's still early, at least five or six hours..."
Five or six hours wouldn't normally seem long, but at that moment it felt as long as a year.
"Let's see. If we can hide, we'll hide. Everybody conserve your strength," Chu Ge whispered.
Daddy's Silhouette and Arno looked around.
Chi Lian, Gu Tianjiao, and Xiao Poor Thing were behind them.
Big Hair stayed by Chu Ge's side; with the loss of General Lie Hao, An Xiuluo, and Xiao Hero, the team was much quieter.
Chu Ge looked over at his teammates, feeling that the situation behind them would be very dangerous.
It was a pity; the three eliminated members were all strong fighters.
After a while.
A rapid series of footsteps came, causing everyone to tense up.
Chu Ge's eyes darted to the direction of the sound.
He saw a creature bursting out of the depths of the forest; it had long brown hair, was as big as a lioness, and had two heads.
Wasn't this the two-headed creature they had encountered before?
It could even go into the sea!
Upon seeing this creature, Chu Ge felt an inexplicable tension and the hairs on his neck stood on end.
Danger!
Extreme danger!
The two-headed monster's heads were strikingly similar to those of a hyena, with sharp fangs and two horn-like projections on top of its ears that resembled cow horns.
It sniffed around continuously, drawing closer to Chu Ge and the others.
Suddenly, it stopped and stared straight at Chu Ge.
In the darkness, its eyes glowed.
Chu Ge immediately growled, "Fight! Tear it apart!"
Having said that, he was the first to pounce.
Big Hair followed suit, transforming and closely behind him.
The others didn't hesitate either, quickly surrounding the two-headed monster.
Chu Ge tackled the two-headed monster to the ground, attempting to bite it, but it quickly broke free.
The creature was so strong it sent Chu Ge tumbling to the ground.
Before Chu Ge could get up, the two-headed monster was already on top of him, fiercely biting at his neck.
Despite the thick mane providing protection, Chu Ge could still feel the sharpness of the monster's fangs.
Big Hair brutally knocked the two-headed monster aside, and Daddy's Silhouette followed by hugging it tightly.
Gu Tianjiao, Chi Lian, Arno, and Xiao Poor Thing all rushed in.
They all attacked the two-headed monster, but it was still ferociously holding its ground.
"This bastard is strong!"
Daddy's Silhouette cried out in terror, his voice trembling.
The two-headed monster was not just strong; its defensive power was also formidable.
Chu Ge simply could not rip through its hide.
Under the venomous assault from him and the other three, the two-headed monster seemed unfazed, still vigorous and lively.
Arno charged at the two-headed monster with all his might, only to be thrown back several steps himself.
A large chunk of flesh was torn from Chu Ge's back, making him grimace in pain.
Big Hair followed by biting the two-headed monster's spine, trying to break it, but couldn't make a dent.
If things continued this way, the Suicide Group might be wiped out by this one monster—which would be no good thing!
With that thought, Chu Ge had no choice but to shout, "Retreat!"
He struggled to his feet, his whole body erupting in Raging Flame Separation.
The two-headed monster stubbornly wouldn't let go.
However, when the brown hair on its body caught fire, it had no choice but to release its grip and run towards the forest's edge.
The others followed Chu Ge as they fled.
Feeling the scorching pain on his back, Chu Ge was burning with anger.
This is too painful!
Does that thing's teeth have venom?
After emerging from the woods, they had to stop.
In front of them, the shallows were churning, with countless fishes leaping about.
Chu Ge frowned—those fish couldn't possibly be piranhas, could they?
"This is very dangerous; it feels like we'll die before we even cross the river," Arno said nervously, an unusual level of cowardice for him.
Chi Lian replied, "Indeed, even if these fish are harmless, the commotion they're creating must mean there's a greater danger in the water."
Chu Ge hesitated about whether or not to move forward.
He looked back but couldn't see the two-headed monster.
He remembered that the two-headed monster could dive, and it might be waiting for them in the sea.
Now they were in real trouble…
"Let's change direction," Gu Tianjiao then suggested.
Chu Ge nodded and led everyone towards another direction.
Whoosh—
Suddenly the sea beside them erupted, and a crocodile surged forth at great speed.
It was a Nile Crocodile, seven meters long and incredibly sturdy.
As it climbed ashore, a massive maw emerged from the sea and bit it, dragging it back into the water.
This colossal creature…
Mosasaur!
In an instant, Chu Ge recognized that the creature which had seized the Nile Crocodile was a mosasaur.
